12. SFP snapshots show changes in global child outcomes over time Kids' Potential, Our Purpose IFSP at Entry (required) Annual IFSPs (optional) IFSP at Exit (required) SFP

13. Why gather Child Outcomes information? Kids' Potential, Our Purpose

14. SFP provides data for… Individual child and family Individual program State program Federal accountability Kids' Potential, Our Purpose

15. Why gather child outcomes information? To provide information for families who as consumers have the right to know if their child’s program is effective To identify strengths and weaknesses of programs and use the information to improve programs To provide information for policymakers to justify future funding Because the federal government requires it Kids' Potential, Our Purpose

17. Improvement Planning for Children and Families Plan (vision) Child and Family characteristics Child and family outcomes Develop individualized IFSP outcomes Implement Check and Assess (Collect and analyze data ) Reflect Are we where we want to be? How is the child functioning in the 3 global outcome areas across settings? What are concerns and priorities? What are we doing now? Is it being done? Is it working? What should be done? How best support parents/team in implementing?

18. Continuous Program Improvement Plan (vision) Program characteristics Child and family outcomes Implement Check (Collect and analyze data ) Reflect Are we where we want to be? Is there a problem? Why is it happening? What should be done? Is it being done? Is it working?

20. Yet, ultimately, teachers, parents, and policymakers also need to know if young children are healthy, that they are developing essential social and emotional skills such as self- regulation and cooperative play, and that their emerging academic skills are developing appropriately. At the end of the day, early learning and development programs must begin to shift to evaluating the basic outcomes we seek and prize for our children."
